Yes, I have had published a few (32) manuscripts in the past, but they were average (with a single exception).

This year I have pulled off two papers in more prestigious venues.

• 4 years: envisioned length of the doctoral studies in Poland
• 3.31 years: average post-doc time (10.1371/journal.pone.0263185)
• Negative datasets:
  • the first group meeting: 29-06-2020.
  • the first meeting ‘Przemek + gang + Michał’ = AmpGram: 25-10-2019
  • the first e-mail to Przemek and Stefan on the topic on negative data sampling: 05-03-2019.
  • Kasia and I work on the AmpGram: December 2018.
  • First biogram commit: 05-08-2014.

• 4 years: envisioned length of the doctoral studies in Poland
• 3.31 years: average post-doc time (10.1371/journal.pone.0263185)
• AmyloGraph:
  • the first meeting with curators: 08-02-2021.
  • the first meeting with Kasia Hubicka: 25-11-2020.
  • the second grant submission: 15-12-2019.
  • the first grant submission: 14-12-2018.
  • the first graph of interactions: somewhere in 2017.

• Now I’m happy that I did big projects:
  • but it was very risky (I did not publish small works, my CV was looking worse).
  • but they killed me energy-wise (no grant application in July, personal life suffered greatly, mini-seizure).
• each project I stopped loving in the process:
  • suddenly the work became very hard because I did not have the drive.
  • it is a consequence of the gap between expectations and reality.

• a creative work is really hard to delegate

• a creative work every kind of work is really hard to delegate.
• discussing the project with other researchers outside the project helps the project to move forward: the knowledge is everything.
• I note too little: thanks to that, projects were disorganized.
• I plan to little: the projects failed to achieve the envisioned impact.
• people are hard to replace.
• all unexpected difficulties arisen from the wrong communication with people.
• even though we work in a group, I have to deal with my stress nor disappointment on my own.

I am going too much out of my area of the expertise.

These projects could be sucessful: I just need to patiently work for better results to appear.

A lot of seminars, presentations and travelling. Next two weeks I am trying out my presentations.

• database of peptide predicting tools
• predictor of AMPs
• maybe AmyloGraph 2.0?

These projects were done only thanks to you, who worked, participated in meetings and conversations, did your best and survived all of this.
